Senior Content Marketing Manager

About Kalepa:

Insurance is a $7T global industry built on professional labor: underwriting, claims, pricing, operations, and distribution. Kalepa is building AI that can perform that work.

We create professional-grade AI systems for insurers: software that can read, reason, decide, and act inside real workflows and operate over long-time horizons. Kalepa begins by augmenting professionals with the tools to succeed at their jobs. That earns us the right to learn from real decisions, capture decision traces, and automate what can be automated successfully over time.

Our products are already in production with leading insurers, driving measurable outcomes and expanding across functions. The opportunity is far broader than any single workflow: to build the AI operating system for decision-making across insurance. For people who want to work on AI that matters, in a sector where correctness, trust, and real-world impact count, Kalepa is just getting started.

Kalepa is backed by leading investors such as IA Ventures and Inspired Capital, and our team brings experience from Facebook, Palantir, Google, Amazon, McKinsey, Mastercard, and Uber.

Our Values (This is important):

Many organizations have a dusty list of corporate values that no one ever follows. Kalepa is not one of those companies. Our values are designed to unlock the potential of our employees. 

Success at Kalepa is bred from five core principles:

• Hustle and Determination - We hire people who take full ownership of their craft and relentlessly pursue excellence with speed and determination. We choose the hard problems and do not give up. This is the foundation of how we work and how we win.
• Deliver Customer Impact - We're obsessed with customer impact. Every feature, every line of code, every decision is measured against one question: does this help insurers make better decisions? If it doesn't drive speed, accuracy, or profitability for our customers, we don't build it.
• Meritocracy - We're building something exceptional, and that requires exceptional people and ideas. We have a high bar but we reward excellence with rapid growth. If you're the best at what you do, you'll thrive here.
• Transparency - We value honest, transparent communication over politics. We challenge ideas, not people. We say what needs to be said, even when it's hard. This is how we solve problems fast and find the truth.
• Experiment Relentlessly - Many of the problems we face have never been solved before. We tackle them by testing quickly, measuring rigorously, and iterating until we find the path forward. Speed of learning is our advantage.

In addition to our NY office, we have remote employees speaking 10+ languages across the globe. But we invest in bringing our people together both for regional meetups and global offsites (2021 - Playa Del Carmen | 2022 - Rome | 2023 - Buenos Aires | 2024 - Lisbon | 2025 - Cartagena).

Kalepa’s culture isn’t for everyone, and that’s ok. But for the people who are a fit, they can’t imagine working elsewhere. 

About the role:

Base Salary: $145-$185K*

Location: New York, NY (Hybrid)

We're looking for a Content Marketing Manager to own Kalepa's content strategy, thought leadership programs, and content distribution efforts. You'll be responsible for shaping our narrative, building executive and SME thought leadership, growing our audience, and developing content programs that create measurable business impact. This is not a traditional content writing role. We're looking for someone who can independently build and operate a content engine that drives awareness, credibility, audience growth, and pipeline.

You'll work directly with executives, product leaders, customers, and subject matter experts to uncover insights, develop differentiated points of view, and create content that helps establish Kalepa as the sharpest and most trusted voice at the intersection of AI and insurance.

You'll create content across a variety of formats and channels, including blogs, thought leadership, newsletters, original research, webinars, customer stories, sales enablement, and emerging content formats. Just as importantly, you'll help determine which topics, formats, channels, and programs are worth investing in next.

We believe the best candidates are naturally curious, experimental, and data-driven. We're looking for someone who enjoys testing ideas, learning quickly, and continuously raising the bar on both the quality and impact of our content. 

You will report directly to the Marketing Director and play a central role in shaping Kalepa's marketing function from the ground up.

Key responsibilities:

• Partner with executives, customers, and subject matter experts to identify insights, develop original points of view, and create differentiated market narratives
• Write, edit, and publish high-quality content across formats including blogs, newsletters, research reports, webinars, customer stories, case studies, landing pages, sales enablement assets, and emerging content formats
• Build and manage thought leadership programs for executives and subject matter experts, including content planning, interviewing, ghostwriting, publishing, and performance tracking
• Own SEO and AEO initiatives to improve discoverability across traditional search engines and AI-powered answer engines
• Continuously experiment with new formats, channels, and audience growth initiatives, using data to determine where Kalepa should invest further
• Use AI tools responsibly to accelerate production and research while maintaining a high bar for editorial quality, accuracy, and original thinking
• Track, analyze, and report on content performance, using insights to refine strategy, prioritization, and investment decisions

You'll be right at home if you:

• Have 6+ years of experience in content marketing, content strategy, editorial, or thought leadership roles
• Have experience building content systems, not just creating individual content assets
• Have exceptional writing and editing skills, with a proven ability to simplify complex technical or industry-specific topics
• Have experience creating content that supports business objectives such as SEO growth, audience growth, executive visibility, demand generation, or pipeline influence
• Have strong ghostwriting capabilities and can adapt tone and voice across different stakeholders
• Have excellent editorial instincts and a high standard for clarity, structure, accuracy, and quality
• Are naturally curious and enjoy identifying new opportunities, testing ideas, and learning from results
• Are highly organized and capable of managing multiple projects, stakeholders, and deadlines simultaneously
• Have experience writing data-driven stories, research-based content, or industry analysis

What you’ll get:

• Competitive salary (based on experience level).
• Significant equity options package.
• 401(k) plan with employer contribution (regardless of employee contribution)
• Excellent benefits: 100% covered medical, 100% covered vision and dental, and others.
• Work with an ambitious, smart, global, and fun team to transform a $7T global industry.
• 20 days of PTO a year.
• Global team offsites (2021 - Playa del Carmen, 2022 - Rome, 2023 - Buenos Aires, 2024 - Lisbon)
• Healthy living/gym stipend. Mobile phone bill stipend.
• Continuing education credits.
